#211 Take Akron Zips +22.5
over Florida Atlantic Owls
(Boca Raton Bowl, Tuesday,
12/19 7 pm ESPN) What a
season Lane Kiffin had at
Florida Atlanta this season.
He won 10 games to go along
with a Conference USA
Championship. But
unfortunately, Florida
Atlantic may be the end of
the line for him, as he was
not considered for a
coaching
promotion due to the bridges
he has burned in the past. I
just do not see them running
over an Akron team that is
thrilled to be in this bowl
game. Toledo is a very
similar team to Florida
Atlantic and I expect a
similar result in this game,
a 15-18 point victory for
FAU. Akron is 8-2 ATS in
their last 10 games. FAU is
2-6 ATS in their last 8
nonconference games. Do not
miss out on Doc's Sports
